Please give a warm welcome to my friend Lou, and stop by his place to wish his 2nd son a Happy Birthday!

—————————————————————————————————————

Sandy’s gone.  Vacay.
No one here but us chickens.
And a small Haiku.

Momisodes? Away.
Babisodes.  Dadisodes, too.
Gone to Florida.

Land of Oranges,
And Wally.  And Grandparents.
Long due honeymoon.

There will be fam’ly,
And, if they’re really lucky,
They will be alone.

They won’t be gone long,
but long enough to recharge,
the Love Battery.

Have lots of fun, guys.
Wash your hands, be careful.
Come home to us, safe.

We’re taking the plunge
after much contemplation
for over a month

Two weeks of crying
everyday at drop-off
A new occurrence

Six months of preschool
suddenly she’s unhappy
We think she is bored

Mommy, can I go
to a diff’ent preschool peas?!
What a dilemma

Preschool tuition
is now a heavy burden
thank you job lay-off

We’ve made up our minds
and we are taking her out
School’s done by ’09

But our quest to find
a new preschool for next Fall
is no easy feat

Application fees
just to get onto wait lists
Highway robbery

At least until Fall
she can do other fun things
I have some ideas…

(my shoes are below to compare size)

I have saved myself
for many, many years now
Black Friday virgin

Today is the day
I throw caution to the wind
Say a ‘lil prayer.

It is 3:35am as I type this post before heading out.  We don’t have a huge budget this holiday season, so I am hoping to find a few bargains today.  Crossing my fingers I make it out alive.

 Comments overwhelm
me from yesterday’s post
Outpouring of love

So many of you
shared and reached out in some way
I am left speechless

Warm virtual hugs
e-mails, stories, well wishes,
personal accounts

All collectively
helped to lighten the load of
heavy, heavy thoughts

Through you I’m learning
take this one day at a time
Keeping positive

Although life’s on hold
I am reminded to stop
and look around me

A house, family,
a beautiful little girl
All of your support

So much in my life
already surrounding me
have my gratitude

So back on my feet
and in front of my MacBook
ready to Blog on.

Many, many thanks to all who left your encouraging words, prayers, and warm wishes in yesterday’s post.  I’d like to especially thank the women who shared their stories as well.   Dadisodes and I read through every last message and comment last night, and went to bed feeling more at ease.  A special thanks to Lou,  MizFit, Mommy Bytes,  VHMPrincess, Christie-A Work In Progress,  So grateful to be mormon, and Elaine B. for the linking to my post and/or sending a personal message (please let me know if I’ve missed anyone).

Thank you ALL for your continued support.   It means more than you know.
